Anyone have an open seat available in a weeknight game somewhere in Western Los Angeles? I commute from Sherman Oaks to the South Bay, so anywhere reasonably close or in-between would be fair game. I'm relatively open to most systems/genres. I've played and/or run D&D 4.0, 13th Age, Dungeon...

We are a group of four gamers, meeting weekly near Cerritos, CA, and we could use another player or two if anyone is interested. We play a fairly wide variety of games - just finishing up a 4E campaign, but then moving onto Marvel Heroic Roleplaying and 13th Age. Currently we meet on Wednesday...

Wandering deep into the fog-filled marsh on their way to the ruined city of Westerbrook, the players come upon a row of sharpened tree-trunks looming out of the mists, apparently forming the rough walls of a fairly large circular palisade. Their wizard detects magical emanations coming from...

I'm prepping an adventure for my 4E campaign in which I will need a religion based puzzle which will allow the players access to chambers under an abandoned temple. I've got some basic ideas for how the puzzle will work, but I'm hoping for a little bit of help in designing it. Any...

We've found that our group of four is just a little too small. So we are looking to add someone to our group... and it could be you! We meet every Wednesday evening in the Long Beach area, with players in the South Bay and northern Orange County area. We are all in our mid 30s-40s, and have...

I've got a player with a beast companion who wants his wolf to automatically use Aid Another on any skill check that the wolf has trained (specifically Perception). As the wolf will almost never fail the roll to Aid, that basically means that he's got a permanent +2 bonus to this skill. Am I...

Link Have we seen any actual D&D comics in the 20 years since the DC titles folded?

I'm prepping for my next 4E campaign that should be starting within the next couple weeks, and I've got some ideas for skill challenges that I'd like to include. So far, skill challenges have not gone over very well with my group, but I think that there's some interesting stuff that's possible...

Say you've got two combatants on separate balconies four squares apart, suspended 20 feet above jagged rocks. One of the combatants has a magical whip, with which they can make a Range 5 attack that Pulls 5 on a hit. He uses it to attack his opponent on the opposite balcony, and successfully...

Our gaming group is a little too small right now since one of our players took a job that involves lots of traveling. We've currently got a total of 4, which makes just 3 players and a revolving GM slot. We have been playing a number of systems lately, including 4E, Pathfinder, Mutants &...

We've found that our group of five is just a little too small. So we are looking to add someone to our group... and it could be you! We meet on a weekly basis in the Long Beach area, with players in the South Bay and northern Orange County area. We are all in our mid 30s-40s, and have been...

I'm about to take over the GMing duties for my group, and I've decided to start with Eyes of the Lich Queen, a 5th-level Eberron adventure which was published in 2007. While there are a few kinks in the adventure, for the most part I found it quite enjoyable, and with a little bit of polish, and...

Our swordmage really needed to retrieve a magic item from a dead enemy, but was lying prone within melee range of a very dangerous monster. So he asked a simple question: "Can I grab the body, and teleport away with it?" For that matter, can he do that with one of his living teammates?

Last night we tried to find a rules passage, and for the life of us, we just couldn't find it. This is something that we could all swear that we've seen, somewhere in the rulebook, but when we tried to pin it down, it was nowhere to be found. Can you flank with yourself? If you start on one...

For anyone in the Los Angeles area, it looks like Third Planet in Torrance is closing down next week. I stopped by there yesterday, and there was a little notice tacked up on the wall that they'd be shutting down, dated from Christmas. While it's no longer the best game store around, I have...

Like many, I'm planning on playing a half-elf fighter multiclass character (in this case, into wizard). One thing that I can't seem to find in the PHB is how many hands I'd need to have free to cast any of my wizard spells. Assuming he starts with a longsword and a light shield and is casting...

I'm trying to put together some stuff for my next campaign after my World War II Superheroes wraps up in the next couple months (using Mutants & Masterminds, naturally). I'm looking at going back to Eberron, because I really dig all of the various factions that are struggling for power in the...

We've recently lost one of our gaming group (when we found out that his wife was going to have a baby, we knew it was only a matter of time), and now we're finding that a group of four (with an infrequent fifth) to be just a little too small. So we are looking to add someone to our group... and...

I'm putting together a new character to replace the TPK we had last week, and I've got a question. Here's the relevant text from the SRD: Can I keep a shield in my Glove of Storing? This way, I could switch from using my weapon one-handed with the shield or using it two-handed with just a free...

Its our first time with a character taking a Prestige Class that ups his arcane caster level (the Mystic Theurge, so it actually ups his Divine caster level too), and I've got a question about usage. Since the +1 caster level only counts for spellcasting abilities, does the character get the...
